Challenges and Solutions

We Know What Keeps You Up at Night

Compressing lengthy review cycles
Your deal teams often face multiple review iterations, stretching IC memo preparation to 5-7 days. This manual synthesis of financial and legal reports slows down your ability to execute on control buyouts efficiently.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave allows you to generate IC-ready investment memos in hours. You can dramatically reduce cycle times by automating the synthesis of data rooms, allowing your team to focus on strategic positioning rather than document aggregation.

Eliminating late-stage diligence surprises
Discovering critical findings late in the diligence process forces rapid, stressful memo restructuring close to IC deadlines. These last-minute pivots jeopardize the clarity of your investment thesis and operational value creation plan.
How Brightwave Helps:

By analyzing thousands of pages instantly, Brightwave surfaces critical insights and risks immediately. You get sentence-level citations linking every insight to source documents, ensuring your analysis is audit-ready and devoid of late-breaking surprises.

Scaling your buy-and-build evaluation
With professionals reviewing 50 to 200 CIMs annually, thorough screening for add-on and platform opportunities is a resource-intensive bottleneck. Manually processing this volume risks missing key operational details in potential targets.
How Brightwave Helps:

Increase your screening capacity 25x by processing 15 deals in the time it currently takes to review one. Brightwave acts as an always-on analyst, allowing you to evaluate more diversified opportunities without expanding your headcount.

Verifying complex operational insights
Synthesizing disparate reports—financial, legal, and commercial—into a cohesive value creation strategy is complex and prone to human error. Manually validating these insights against source materials is tedious and slows down decision-making.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave transforms 2000+ pages of due diligence into professional deliverables with granular citations. You can instantly verify every operational assumption against the original source material, ensuring your buy-and-build strategies are founded on accurate data.
